Answer:

y = .6x + 2 OR y = 3/5x + 2

Explanation:

First, plot (0,2) and (5,5) on a graphing calculator. (I like to use Desmos)

This is where the +2 in the equation comes from, because that is the y-intercept.

Next, you can count up and over from (0,2) to (5,5) and you will get 3/5.

**What I did is NOT a reliable way and takes much longer. **

I was guessing and checking by putting numbers in front of the x to find the slope. I started with 3 and went to 1. When that was above (5,5) I went to decimal places and got .6x
